Abstract: A method for collaborating between Web-based shopping carts can include the step of identifying a Web-based shopping cart associated with an online store and a shopper of the online store. Access privileges can be established between the shopping cart and at least one other shopping cart, the other shopping carts being associated with shoppers different from the shopper. A linkage can be established between the Web-based shopping cart and the at least one other shopping cart in accordance with the access privileges. Through the linkage, the shopper can be permitted to access items in the another shopping cart.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for providing a robust user experience with an automated system that includes sensory output, such as touch, taste, and/or smell as well as visual output. The automated system can be an e-commerce or automated shopping system. The method can visually present a user selected item for consumer purchase within a graphical user interface (GUI). Sensory output can be produced that simulates how the selected item smells, feels, and/or tastes can be provided. A user can then made a selection in the GUI to modify an aspect of the selected item and/or an environmental condition for an environment of the selected item. The visual presentation of the object and the sensory output for the item can be adjusted in accordance with the user specified modification.

Abstract: The present solution can include a method for allowing the selective modification of audio characteristics of items appearing in a video. In this method, a RFID tag can be loaded with audio characteristics specific to a sound-producing element. The RFID tag can then be attached to an item that corresponds to the sound-producing element. The video and audio of the area including the item can be recorded. The audio characteristics can be automatically obtained by scanning the RFID tag. The audio characteristics can then be embedded within the video so that the audio characteristics are available when the item appears in the video.

Abstract: A computerized method that provides a Web page having control structures for gathering behavioral biometrics. The method can receive behavioral biometric data in accordance with the control structures and in accordance with interactions of a user with the Web page. Additionally, the method can compare the received behavioral biometric data with at least one set of previously established values. The user can be profiled based upon comparison results. This profiling can affect the manner in which Web pages are provided to the user as well as the content contained therein.

Abstract: The present solution can include a method for embedding information contained within a RFID tag into a video. A RFID tag can be loaded with item information specific to a product item. The RFID tag can then be attached to a physical item corresponding to the product item. While the physical item is being recorded, the RFID tag can be simultaneously scanned to obtain the item information automatically. The item information can then be embedded within the video at the time when the physical item is present. A user can view and interact with the generated video in a manner that permits the user to selectively view and/or otherwise utilize the embedded item information. For example, a user can opt to purchase an item appearing in the interactive video.

Abstract: A method for managing deployed electronic documents that can begin when the deployed electronic document is accessed. A data probe can be automatically conveyed to a remotely located document manager responsive to the access attempt. The data probe can include data specific to the deployed electronic document. A management command can be received from the document manager. At least one management action can be locally and automatically performed for the deployed electronic document in accordance with the received management command. The management action can alter the content of the deployed electronic document and/or access rights to existing content of the deployed electronic document.
